Management of bilateral condylar agenesis by distraction osteogenesis: a rare case report
摘要
Condylar agenesis is a rare case involving developmental disturbances related to growth of mandible, facial aesthetics, dentition development, muscle deformation, and occlusal problems. As such, this is a rare condition, and there is no internationally accepted protocol for the same. Underdevelopment or defective formation of condyle may be congenital or acquired. Condylar agenesis is congenital non formation of condyle, while hypoplasia is poor development. We report a case of bilateral condylar agenesis in a 30-year-old female patient.
